Conversion to flail tank was carried out by Curran Brothers of Cardiff, Milners Safe Company, TC Jones and Company, J Hibberts Ltd. A total of 300 sherman based flails were built from oct 1943 to march 1944.
The best was a group of tank based engineering vehicles called Hobart's Funnies. It include a variety of mine clearance vehicles, swimming tanks called DD's for the Duplex Drive it featured and bridgelayers. Another notable war machine was the. artificial harbor system called the Mulberry which was a series of concrete strutures built in England and towed across the Channel
Austria and Turkey did not use tanks. Germany built only twenty tanks, and they used captured British tanks which were in no short supply.
The French built and used the Renaults, fine tanks that the US later built on license. The British built and used the MK series...I, II, III. The British tanks were called males and females; males had cannons, females carried machineguns. The first German tanks were captured allied tanks; they'd paint em up then send em back to their former owners.
more than 50 000 shermans were buildt during ww2
Misleading question. Britain first made the tank in World Was 1. Britain made tanks through out the war years.
49,000 were produced
It was built in 1941, but the design was created in 1940. About 48,000 Sherman tanks were produced.
the Americans brought the Sherman into world war 2. they also gave the Sherman to the British and Canadians.

Yes, he was a Civil war General, fought for the union. Pretty chill. [edit] The British 'christened' the M4 'Sherman' following a trend of naming US built tanks after U.S. civil war generals. Also the 'Lee' and 'Grant'... the names were quickly adopted by U.S. forces.

Only about 1,300 Tiger tanks were manufactured. In contrast the US built 88,000 Sherman tanks, and relied on vast numerical superiority to offset the tremendous qualitative edge enjoyed by the Tiger and Panther tanks of Germany.
DD Sherman Tanks
The most common was the American built M-4 Sherman Medium tank. The US built 88,000 of them, and besides equipping its own forces with them provided them, via lend-lease, to Britain, France and the Soviet Union. But there were quite a few different models of Allied tanks. The Russians built their own rugged T-34s, perhaps the best tank of the war, and KV-1 heavy tanks. The British built excellent Churchill tanks. Americans also operated Stuart Light tanks, and late in the war a few M-26 Pershing tanks appeared. Another American design was the horrible M-3 Grant Medium tank, a death trap to its own crew. It was mostly withdrawn from action by 1943, after costing the lives of many American and British tankers.
